Grizzly Kiki began in April 2014 as a pop culture and drag-centric podcast hosted by Robert Lechuga & Daniel Silva. We launched with recaps of RuPaul’s Drag Race and other reality programming. Shortly after releasing the first few episodes, we narrowed our focus to create a podcast that was unique in concept and would serve a community near and dear to us: DRAG QUEENS!!!!!!!!!!!!! The podcast is equal parts oral history and good old-fashioned kiki. We found that there were few platforms where Drag and Nightlife Artists could talk about their art and themselves in an open and honest way. Most of what is known about these artists comes from videos posted on the Internet or what they experience in bars and clubs. It was clear that there were stories to be told and shared with the world. Our mission is to create a comfortable and safe environment, where these artists can share their histories and experiences. Ours is a podcast that is meant to serve the drag and nightlife community by capturing the artists’ voices and making them available to the public. Grizzly Kiki is a program for drag enthusiasts, Drag Artists, and everyone in between. Listen and Join the Party!!

The Best Of 2018
Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019!
On this episode, we discuss the best in movies, music, and media for 2018 and what we're looking forward to in 2019. FX's "Pose" was a groundbreaking & honest exploration of Ball culture; Cardi B. & Jannelle Monáe slayed with their amazing albums; movies liked "Black Panther" and "A Simple Favor" were standouts: and The Vixen left an indelible mark on RuPaul's Drag Race & challenged the complacency within the drag community regarding racism.
2019 promises to be an exciting year, with some of our favorites returning and new projects premiering. We are awaiting Season 2 of "Pose" with baited breath, and can hardly wait for Valentina's turn as Angel in "Rent LIVE" on FOX.
We also talk about our own personal triumphs in 2018 and the progress we hope to make in 2019.
